The Solar Bears' home jersey will be white, with purple and teal trim, while the road jersey will be purple, with white and teal trim.

"The key was to keep the design as close to the original jerseys but, at the same time, update them," Solar Bears chief operating officer Bob Ohrablo said. "This brings the look into today's style."

The original Solar Bears played in the International Hockey League from 1995-2001.

Jerseys can be purchased at orlandosolarbearshockey.com, beginning Wednesday.

The franchise also announced Jayden Belinger, a 5-year-old girl from Sanford, as the winner of its Face of the Solar Bears contest. Jayden was selected from among more than 200 fans who entered the contest.

Jayden, 14 other finalists, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and Magic forward Ryan Anderson will be featured in an advertising campaign that is set to begin Wednesday.
